Recently had the pleasure of working with 2 models from Boho Model Agency that I had worked with before on a few occasions – Alex Pratt and Debbie Ingram. We had the whole day (well I’m slowing down in my old age!! lol) and we decided to split the day between shooting some portraits, headshots and B&W images here in Darlington then making the short trip up the A1 to Newcastle and shoot something a little more expansive at Banana Studio. Debbie was taking a break from her studies at Edinburgh Uni whilst Alex was fresh from a successful stint at London Fashion Week where she came second in the Top Model UK Grand Final – way to go Alex As always the girls were absolute stars, fun, creative but also a joy to work with. Something we had chatted about for a while was a collage of images of the 2 girls together styled around Cheryl Cole’s look in the video “Promise This” which presented a few challenges in post but the final result was worth all the pain!!

During the last year I set myself the target of getting out of the studio more and do more location shoots, particularly at the beach. We are very lucky in the north east in that we have some stunning coastline and the models to match – even though the water can be a little chilly at times!! I was really fortunate in that Ellie, Debbie, Natalie, Rebecca and Kirstie were all great to shoot with and really worked hard to get the images we wanted, helped by some lovely sunny, summer days. As you can see the north east can look very glam given the right setting and weather. If you would like to find out more about our special deals for beach shoots please get in touch.
